Naturally, if you’re in jail, your main thought is about how to get out. After you’ve gone through booking, a bail amount is determined using the bail schedule or the magistrate will decide it. In cases where no bail is set this may mean that you will either be free to go until your trial, or you have to stay in jail until your trial.

If you are released from jail you will have to promise to show up for court, and until that date you can’t go out of town.

Typically, inmates are given time off for good behavior when they don’t break the rules and area a good inmate while in jail.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be given work release detail. Either you will have to return to jail each day when you’re finished with work, or you may be allowed to live in a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Bail is the amount of money that you have to pay to the court system to get out of jail until you go to court. The amount of bail that is set is dictated by the seriousness of your crime. You will have to pay 10 percent of the total amount set so you are able to get discharged from jail. If you don’t go to court, the person that bailed you out of jail won’t get their money back.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you have to call the Comanche County Detention Center or the County Courthouse. If you have all the person’s information, like name, address and date of birth, they’ll let you know what their bail is set at. Also, you can find out how much their bail is online.

Bailing out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but thankfully, its simple to do if you have the money. First of all, you have to find out if it is a Cash Only Bond situation. If this is the case, you won’t be able to use a bail bondsman. Cash only – the jail won’t accept a personal check. As soon as you’ve paid the bail bond, the person will be discharged. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you’ll get the bail money back.

If bail is set too high, or you just can’t afford to pay it, you should use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen generally have a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and in most cases have a minimum of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman is non-refundable and must be paid in cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman might use your assets as collateral for the bond.

You can find a bail bondsman visit our page about: Find a bail bondsman at Comanche County Detention Center

In the event there is a, or if you must start your sentence, it is recommended that you follow the law and turn yourself in willingly.

If you are under any sort of disciplinary procedure, an inmate’s phone privileges could be reduced or cut altogether.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that spending time in the Commanche County jail is very scary, you will soon get accustomed to the daily routine there. You should expect an alarm for wake-up at 6am, and then roll call. Then you will have breakfast. Following breakfast participate in the program that has been assigned to you. This could be working in the kitchen, laundry, or some sort of manufacturing job. While this may seem tedious, it may help you when you leave jail, as you are gaining experience in a certain field of work. Other inmates go to school, while some take part in mandated treatment programs. After lunch, there will be another roll call, then back to work. Your evening will be spent either in your cell or a common room. During this time dinner is served and you will be expected to take a shower. After another roll call, it’s lights out. Even though you will be confined to your cell, there may be enough light to read or write letters. Then again, most inmates welcome lights out, and try to get as much sleep as they can.

Most people are frightened at the idea of jail because they don’t know what to expect. If you have spent any time in Comanche County Detention Center, your experiences would be welcomed, if it can help another person to deal with it.

Dress Code

When incarcerated, all inmates are expected to wear the Comanche County Detention Center uniform. This is normally a jumpsuit or scrubs. Of note to anyone visiting an inmate – you must be properly dressed. Any clothing considered inappropriate will not be permitted.

How To Send Money to an Inmate

You will have your own ‘bank account’ while in jail. This money is used to purchase items from the Commissary. Family and friends can deposit money into this account for you, and any money you earn while in prison will also be deposited into your account. Outside money can be paid in to your account via a money order, cash or check. If someone sends a check or money order, make sure that they write your inmate ID on it. The maximum amount you are allowed in your account is $290 per month.

The rules for sending funds to someone in jail at Comanche County Detention Center is likely to change, so it would be best to double check the official Comanche County Detention Center site when you send funds to an inmate.


Commissary

The commissary is the jail store. You can purchase a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will probably want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

Inmate Medications

If you are on any type of prescription medication, you will be allowed to continue taking it while in jail. When you are first processed, you will be asked what medication you take. You will then be referred to the jail nurse or doctor who will be in charge of monitoring your health and prescribing your medication.

Meals

You will get three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. As expected, they are very basic, but healthy. A typical breakfast might be cereal, toast, coffee and fruit. Lunch might be spaghetti, salad, bread and milk. Dinner could be chicken casserole, rice, vegetables, dessert and milk. Contrary to popular belief, prison food has greatly improved over the years, and you might find that it’s not much different from what you would eat at home.

Pods / The Yard

The jail is designed in a ‘pod’ layout, with self-contained housing arranged around an outdoor yard. Each pod has a central control station and a common room, and the inmates take turns in using the yard. The jail is designed this way to keep certain inmates together, and others away from the general population.

Gangs

As with life in general, gangs are a part of prison life. Obviously it is best to avoid becoming a part of this environment as it will only lead to trouble. When you first enter prison, you might find yourself being ‘primed’ to join a gang, or worse, you might get their attention in a negative way. The best thing to do is keep your head down and don’t get involved.
